OK so this little Fabia has been parked up for a while but now that the Octy MkI skip is now moved on I have to get it running right.

 

Prior to parking up I replaced the Boost hose that goes to the manifold/EGR as the lugs were really worn but it still smoked a lot under load.

Today I got it up on the ramps (not easy when its got no POWER) and found that the boost hose at the bottom has been fouling a lug and has holed, you can see the oily deposits where its been blowing out.  Got a replacement on order so should be able to fit Wednesday and hope to see a big improvement....

 

But the second image shows a spring clip connector that seems to connect to the pipe that goes into/out of? the turbo and its got a small amount of wetting  around it.  There's not as much muck as from the other hose but is it a common part to fail?  (reminds me of the SAI pipes off the 1.8T)

OK so the oily residue was not from what I thought was a hole.  It seems to be coming from a "banjo bolt" coming down off the turbo with a flexi pipe going to the block (Oil feed maybe?)

 

back to the drawing board I guess.  the boost pipe is worn from contact though so replacing it wed/thu anyway.
